old age, after being confined to his house
about five months with low stage of ty-
phoid fever and general decline. He would
have been 30 years of age the 10th Of Feb
ruary. He was raised on a farm adjoining
Lightstreet, and spent most Of his years in
that section with the exception of the few
years he lived in Bloomsbury, He owned
ard sold the first ore land in this section,
believing 1t would develop new industry
and make the balance of his land more val
liable. The sale of that aud other lands
induced the organization of the Irondale
Company. He was member of the Re-
formed church for many years. He was the
father of Mrs. j. A. Funston and Mrs j.

A catalogue is in preparation at this Of
fee that y il be Of value to the members of
the bar of this county, 1t will contain a
Systematically arranged list Of all the law
books in the county, with the names of the
attorneys in whose libraries they can be
found. When the lawyer wishes to con-
suit an authority not in his own possessions
he can easily ascertain whether the book
is in the county, and who has it, 1t will
not only be of much assistance in this way,
but il proper attention is paid to it, much
money will be saved in the purchase Of law
books. Several hundred dollars are spent
each year in buying books and very often
several attorneys purchase the same work.
where one would be sufficient for the
whole bar. There are many text books
that are indispensable to a lawyer, and yet
each attorney may not have occasion 80
consult them more than once year. Law
hooks are expensive, and if each one would
first ascertain whether any one else has a
particular book before buying, it would
save unnecessary duplication, and the
same amount of money that is now spent
would furnish much wider scope OF au-
thorities.
Much labor is involved in the proper
preparation of this catalogue, as a list has
to be made of nearly thirty libraries, and q
classification made afterwards. 1t will be
completed in few weeks, il sufficient in
terest is shown to warrant its publication.

Yrs. Cleveland gave luncheon at the
White House one day last week in honor
of Miss Mary Hastings, the Presidents
niece, who formerly resided in Blooms
burg. The following account is taken
from Washington despatch
The luncheon was served in the family
dining room, which was beautifully decor
ated for the occasion with flowers The
menu was one of the best efforts of the
White douse chef, and was heartily enjoy
ed by the happy maidens. Miss Mary Has
tings, the prin cipal guest, is the daughter
of the Presidents sister who married Rev.
DR.. Hastings, Presbyterian divine and
missionary. She was born in India and,
upon reaching her teens, was sent to the
United States for education. Having fin
isned her course OF instruction and being
of an Independent spirit like so many OF
our best American girls, she determined
not only to make herself useful but to rely
upon her own eXertions for her support
With that view she is now one Of the teach
ers at the Houghton Female Seminary at
Clinton, New York. Miss Hastings is
about twcnty-three years of age, of fine ap-
pcarance and marked kindness of manner.
